BIRTHDAY OF THE DAY: Adrienne Watson, the DNC’s deputy communications director and Trump war room director

How/where are you celebrating your birthday and with whom? “I am going to Bermuda for the long weekend to visit a friend with an adorable puppy.”

How did you get your start in politics? “I have a big, bipartisan family, so I learned early on how to reason with Republicans! That helped me in my first job - answering the phones for Rep. Baron Hill (D-Ind.) during the passage of the ACA.”

What is a trend going on in the U.S. or abroad that doesn’t get enough attention? “Democrats are winning races across the country – we’ve flipped 8 seats this year, while Republicans haven’t flipped any in contested races. We are converting the enormous momentum on the ground into wins.”

How is the Trump presidency going? “It’s exhausting, it’s terrifying, and it keeps me busy.”

What’s a fun fact that people in Washington might not know about you? “I bet I can beat you at tennis.”
